    Jerky shrinkge

    Well I dug my 6 year old but brand new jerky gun out this weekend and made up some jerky in my dehydrator. It tastes great but I was really surprised at how much it shrunk and also how much fat came out of it. I used store bought lean ground beef from a local butcher but I don't know what the...

    Stumbled on a deal for a change

    Stumbled on a deal for a change
